Here's a picture of Filey Station. Photographer unkown. The mineral wagons were loaded with chalk, it was sent to Scotland.

Rob, all I have. CHANTRY LANE. Gate Box Opened. McKenzie & Holland No11 Apparatus installed 1902. Total 5 Levers, 1 Gate Wheel, Spare nil. All wood construction. Gate box closed

Picture wise, I can add nothing, apart from the attached "Signalling Diagram" to Rob's photographs. Though a little history may be of interest. Flemingate was a new signalbox of July 1890. It had a 12 lever locking frame plus 1 Gate Wheel, of these 10 levers were in use. During September 1932 the LNER considered Flemingate as a "Block Post" to be an expensive luxury and made plans to reduce it to a Gate Box at an estimated cost of £740/-. This work was carried out sometime during 1934, possibly on 13 March. The level crossing gates and wickets were replaced by the present barriers on Sunday 18 February 1968, and from Sunday 17 March 1985 were worked from Beverley signalbox. Flemingate was demolished 6 October 1985. As an aside, one of Rob's photo's is taken off Chantley Lane footbridge, this too was once a level crossing. t=623057:FLEMINGATE BILD0017.jpg]

A better signalling and layout plan of Bridlington South.

Here is a rough sketch (Not Mine) of the Bridlington South layout and signalling

Here is a mid '50's view of Bridlington.

Rob, here is a close up photo' of the Gate Wheel. I have original detail and GA Drws, but too big to post on here, likewise the lever frame.

Beverley Park signalbox had a bit of an interesting history. It was an early '20's replacement signalbox, the wooden top was recovered from the 1904 Melton Gatebox, though the brickwork was new, and likewise the locking frame.

The engine was run in on local Trip Pilots, and is known to have worked to King George Dock, it is seen here at Hessle. Photo, Neville Stead.

Simon, is the tall bloke stood behind Colin, Paul Ramsden? He certainly has Paul's look. I knew Colin when he was signalman at Cottingham North, and was same at Cherry Tree.

I have quiet a bit of stuff on Bridlington, contact me if you wish. micknich2003@yahoo.co.uk

Here's Arram when it had a signalbox, and was a "Block Post".

Rob, the level crossing gates are to a late LNERly/early Brly design, though the unseen mechanics, are much the same as used by the NERly many years earlier.

Rob, thanks for posting your "Modern" pictures, I have numerous near identical views of the Scarbrough Branch from "Steam Day's"

Re Post 5767, final view, better call out the signal fitter and locking fitter, a nice "Conflicting Move" with the two signal arms "OFF".

Here's a further variant of an LNER pattern "Double Disc.

A few posts back, there was mention of tank top rivet detail. Here is part of a J73 detail drawing.

Here is a picture of a mechanical Facing Point Lock. There is no "Lock Bar" because a Track Circuit is run through the switches. With the TC occupied the FPL lever is electicaly locked and therefore the FPL can't be withdrawn, and the switches remain locked.

'and also the Trap points, these should be in Advance of the Austerity, to protect the Main Line.

Another great source of inspiration are the two articles wrote by the late Ron Warbouys in the now defunct Model Railway News c1964, building a "Southern Class Z 0-8-0T, and an ex LSWRly T9 4-4-0. Both articles, are well worth finding, and reading.
